Chris Britton was a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2008 he struck out 12 batters over 23.0 innings across 15 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.09 was 17.7% higher than the league average of 4.32 — 14th of 20 on his team, and 343rd of 482 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.78 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 13.8% of swings (6.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.4%. His -0.2 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
